Book Tour for "How Perfect Is That?"

DescriptionBlythe Young's recent divorce from Trey Dix has left her outside the protective bubble of Austin's high society. As her catering business goes broke and the IRS starts to chase her down, Blythe seeks a haven at Seneca House, the housing co-op where she lived 10 years ago during college. There, she must face Millie Ott, one of many friends Blythe shucked off in a frenzy of social climbing. Once portly Millie is now slender and, as a perfect foil for Blythe, also saintly: she delivers aid to the homeless by way of a tandem recumbent bike (which Blythe names the dorkocycle). At Seneca House, Blythe tries to make amends with people she's stepped on, to avoid the IRS, and to kick both a lingering drug habit and an addiction to scamming people into helping her out. She slowly starts to wins over the affection of her housemates until one of her unthinking decisions brings potential ruin on the co-op's financial well-being.

ReviewThis book was a hoot from beginning to end! I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm sure you will too. The dialogue and writing is witty and sharp and a joy to dig into. The characters ring true and while not always loveable, are believable and you like them anyway. For me this was a perfect summer book, although I do have to warn you that you might find yourself laughing out loud so be careful of your surroundings!

This was my first Sarah Bird book, but I can tell you I'll be hitting the bookstores to get more of her books.

Every year we lose more people to AIDS. It hasn't disappeared and it's not going away anytime soon. I urge you to seek out and support your local AIDS Organizations. Encourage everyone you know to practice safe sex and to get tested once a year. Even if you don't think you are at risk, get tested. I didn't think I was at risk either, and I almost died before I was diagnosed.
